But the stock apps are the base for calculating credit and modification to credit could/should only be done to equalize credits(RAC) between stock apps. Any difference in credits(RAC) between opt apps is not relevant as credit is applied to work done and not how fast it is done. And how much work is done with one WU is defined by stock apps on a defined system.

Just keep in mind that opti should be kept out of the equation..........

But exactly the opt apps are "the problem", you get less credit for MB than for AP only because of opt apps and that's the reason why AP is so popular. I don't exactly know, but believe that you get equal credit with stock apps for MB and AP. So the only reason for your initial request are the opt apps that give unequal credit and therefore MB needs some boost.

The only way to equalize the credit between AP and MB would be to more optimize the AP stock app, which would mean to reduce the credit boost from the optimized AP app as it doesn't do the work that much faster as the stock app anymore.

Vista SP2 RTM: no longer remote boinc

OK i installed a new vista business x64 as a domain client today, sadly i forgot to test remote BOINC before i installed ESET smart security, so my first try to connect to BOINC from another host ended at the ESET firewall. I disabled the firewall and everything runs as expected. I set up a firewall rule and it still works - in both directions.

I believe one of the betas in conjunction with the rtm messed up your system

I just installed it and the installation process was smoothly with a little hickup where it presented me the installer of hhd hexeditor again. But after installing hhd again everything works fine including BOINC and remote BOINC.

Of course the best AV doesn't free one from using brain. There's no 100% solution out there even all together wouldn't be 100%. AV is always a step behind as it only can do when the virus already exists.

Don't click "free", "earn ####$", "get a larger, thicker xxx", "crack" and a few others!!! This should prevent you from ~99% of malware.

My core i7 running Seti with a ATI 4850 running MilkyWay is drawing 286 Watt, the core i7 with idle ATI 226 Watt. I have 2 of them, both equipped with 2 SSDs and a 550W PSU
This gives about 12,000 credit per kWh if everything runs perfectly what they don't do most of the time :Â´(
With actual RAC the better one gives about 9,000 credit per kWh
